Happy tree friend

The inspiration to this pendant is this beautiful fruit I have found in my neighborhood.  I have no idea what's the name of the tree so if anyone out there knows please let me know.

The pendant is made of polymer with a touch of 3 freshwater pearls and it is for sale, you can find it on my Etsy shop.

Prototype

This is the prototype of the bracelet from the previous post. This one is made out of polymer with freshwater pearls in the middle.

And so the end is near

mm.. sounds a bit dramatic but yes it's a bit sad the year is coming to an end and my first year of metal smiting studies is almost finished, it's going to be a long break until the beginning of the second year.

And this is my last project for this year

It's been a tricky one.

The end result is a bit different then the original idea I had in mind, but it was an interesting process creating this piece and it took some original solutions to make it work. So thank you Merav my great teacher for not giving up and helping me finish it.

For making this polymer clay barrettes I used the millefiori technique.
You can learn more of this technique in  previous post where  Nathalie Duval / Charas shows the "secret" of the millefiori technique.
